10 Gaping Plot Holes That Will Ruin Your Favorite Movies

9. Almost Everything - Interstellar

Christopher Nolan is one of the most brilliant film makers to ever emerge from Hollywood and his career may eventually be ranked up there with the greats, but boy did he drop the ball on his latest offering. Fortunately, a sub-standard Nolan film is still greater than 99% of other movies, but for all its grandeur and heart-wrenching drama, Interstellar is hugely flawed. It's difficult to focus on only one plot hole in Interstellar as Nolan's latest offering is riddled with them. How did Romilly stay sane after spending twenty-three years alone on the spaceship? Why didn't Professor Brand just send the robots through the wormhole instead? And if Cooper was perfect for the job and has even flown for NASA before, why didn't they just recruit him in the first place, especially as he only lives down the road!? Putting aside the fact that a person definitely shouldn't be able to enter a black hole and live, the biggest plot hole Interstellar would have us overlook concerns the aliens/future humans that create the wormhole to save us. If the solution to the gravity problem was simple enough to be transmitted by Cooper's watch in Morse Code, why on earth didn't they just send that through the wormhole they created, rather than luring humans out on an almost impossible journey? Sure, it would be far less exciting to watch in cinematic terms, but this concerns the fate of the human race dammit! Some things are just more important than creating a flawed, yet impressive movie! Although all that glowy space stuff sure was pretty.
